I'm opening it up for the first time in many decades. I got my '76 in 1984 as the 2nd owner. I'm pretty sure the seat fabric wasn't changed from original before I got it, but looking at the fabric patterns and colors I can find here and elsewhere, nothing looks like the pattern I have. The color has faded and of course wear, but did they go hog wild in the last few production models and used anything? my vin is 4762903481, 12/75. It's Malaga red.

Interesting... So Sciroccos were being made in parallel with 914s. I guess you learn something everyday.

QUOTE(windforfun @ Jan 8 2023, 12:01 PM)  Interesting... So Sciroccos were being made in parallel with 914s. I guess you learn something everyday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) sirroccos took over the aisle in final assembly hall where 914s were done. and 914s were shifted over to where karmann ghias were done. alongside VW cabriolets just as the ghias had been built next to VW cabs. karmann ghias ended in 74. they built way more sirroccos and at way greater volumes than they ever did 914s. much bigger hit with the car buying public at that time. not that the 914 was necessarily a slouch in karmann ghia terms or porsche terms when it came to numbers sold. but the sirrocco was VW's idea of respectable production numbers and units out the door in the showroom. mk 1 scirocco  |
